The Bell Jar, London Road

I don't know about that but they have this quote over the door:

 

“There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.”

 

Quote from The Bell Jar (though to be honest I didn't remember that one - it sounds more like an old adage when taken out of context. Grim/ironic otherwise, in the text).

 

Loving this growth of literary themed pubs and cafes. More, Sheffield!

I'm thinking of opening 'Never Let Me Go', a bistro that specialises in offal.

 

This could run and run...

 

I'm going for the 'Robinson Crusoe', where you can feast on baby goat and turtle eggs. Mmmm!

A Sylvia Plath theme pub?

 

All electric then.

It's not Barry's. It's the Albion.

That's a shame, Barry brings to licensed victualling, what Victor Meldrew brought to the Happy Clappy Club.

Haha, nice but insufficiently miserabilist. I suggest the 'Lord of the Flies': a family pub with children's play area.

Excellent. A new venture without all the over the top corporate excrement speak that Brewdog thought appropriate.

 

And a welcome addition to London Road, because no matter how many fans the Cremorne has had over the years, it's always been a hole, with either poor beer or no beer at all (I've been in when they've had to go and buy bottles from over the road) and usually full of druggies and wastoids trying to blag money off you. There is a point where Bohemian and alternative becomes drug-addled and annoying.

Very nicely worded. The restaurants on London Rd are the best in Sheffield, no doubt, and now we need some decent pubs to match.

Doesn't sound like the Cremorne I know. The new owners have really turned it around & always have an excellent range of real ales on.
